Senior Pass acceptance
In message
, "John @ home" writes The House of Commons Library published a paper last month describing bus concessionary fare schemes in the UK. http://www.parliament.uk/briefingpap...ch/briefings/s nbt-01499.pdf Yesterday, they published another paper describing a proposal in 2002 to limit bus concessions for older and disabled people to a half fare. I wonder why? http://www.parliament.uk/briefingpap...ch/briefings/s nbt-02009.pdf The coalition government wants to review the financing of the scheme, while at the same time being committed to free travel for the people concerned. AIUI, from comments in u.t.l. by Colin Rosentheil and others, the costs don't fall equitably on local authorities at present - in particular, those that are popular holiday resorts or tourist destinations end up paying for a lot of "out of area" visitors. -- Paul Terry |
